Historical context

Macer operated a small mint in Carthage or Cirta, where no gold coinage is recorded. Struck as a silver denarius, the standard Roman silver coin, this issue names the authority on the obverse alongside the legend "L CLODI MACRI S C". The reverse legend "LIB LEG III" accompanies an aquila between two vexilla, referencing the Legio III Augusta under his command.
